How to create a marble nail design using blooming gel
Step by Step
INK London educator, Matt Martin, shares how to create a marble effect nail using products from the brand, available via www.inknails.com.
For the remaining nails, the nail artist used INK London iLac Gel Polish in i-270 (Sahara) as the base colour of the ombré nails, then applied iLac Gel Polish in i-220 (English Oak) towards the ends of the nails and smudges of Colour Gel Paint in Black Knight at the tips to create depth. The other nail showcases two layers of i-220 (English Oak), finished with INK London’s Ultimate No Wipe Top Coat.
Step 1
Apply INK London iLac Gel Polish in i-270 (Sahara) as the base layer. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 2
Apply blooming gel, making sure not to cure. Using the Super 6 side of the INK London Fantastic 4/Super 6 Gel Brush, apply INK London Colour Gel Paint in White Lines randomly across the nail. Allow the blooming gel to spread the colour, then cure.
Step 3
Reapply blooming gel and add INK London iLac Gel Polish in i-218 (Maple), i-220 (English Oak) and Colour Gel Paint in White Lines to the nail as shown, using the INK London Pro Art Series Michelangelo liner brush.
Step 4
Allow the blooming gel to spread the colour and manipulate if needed. Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 5
Apply INK London Velvet Matte No Wipe Top Coat and cure for 120 seconds to finish.
